The monkey god seeks Sita

 

The monkey god seeks Sita

 

It was a spring long, long ago. Beautiful white clouds floated slowly in the blue sky, and the breeze carried the fragrance of flowers from the prairie. Agudengba told the mythical story of the birth of the monkey Hanuman to the donkey, and also told the story of the monkey Hanuman coming out of the mountains and crossing the sea. Hanuman accepted the monkey king Sugriva's offer to lead the monkey army on the West Road. , headed straight to the western mountains on a mission to find Rama’s wife Sita. Sita was abducted by the ten-headed demon king Ravana. After inquiring, we found out that Sita might be imprisoned by the demon king Ravana in Lanka Island.

The monkey god Hanuman stood on the top of the mountain of Mahandra, and his body became extremely tall. He took a full breath, stretched out with all his strength, and his huge body rose into the air. Jump across the sea to Lanka Island.

The monkey god Hanuman stands on the clouds, looking down. Ho! Lanka Island is so beautiful!

The island has tall and tall peaks, beautiful flowing water, and green trees everywhere. There are many precious trees in the forest, such as Lintuo tree, Jitaka tree, Nibo tree, Saha Dogadha tree and so on. They are all rare and precious trees found in the sky. The ponds on the island are covered with flowers, which are fragrant and fragrant, like strings of beautiful garlands, with pearls shining in the center of the garlands.

Lanka City is located on the top of the highest mountain on the island.

Outside the city is a very wide and deep moat, filled with water, with sunflowers and blue lotus growing inside, and a flower scarf surrounding the city wall. The city wall is high and thick, and the city is heavily guarded.

The city of Lanka was built by the god of architecture. The palace is tall, majestic and extremely luxurious.

In the city of Lanka, there are many beautiful white palaces, row upon row and well-proportioned. The road is straight and extends in all directions. The roofs of palaces and high-rise buildings are decorated with gold, silver, and crystals, which complement each other with the tall and mighty golden city gates. Under the sun, the whole city is shining with golden light.

After seeing the island and the city of Lanka, Hanuman had an idea in his mind. He lightly jumped down outside the city of Lanka and hid in the woods. He decided to go into the city when it got dark. He first found out whether Sita was dead or alive, and then acted with camera.

The sun was setting, and darkness quickly enveloped the land. The monkey stretched out his hand, but could not see his fingers clearly, and then jumped out of the bush. The monkey god Hanuman can transform seventy-three times, so he transformed into a wild cat and slipped into Lanka City.

When the lights are on in Lanka City, it has a different kind of crystal-clear beauty compared to the daytime. Hanuman had no intention of admiring the street-like night view and gorgeous buildings in the city, and went straight to the harem of the ten-headed demon. He searched among thousands of beauties, but did not find Sita. How to do it? Hanuman had an idea and thought:

"I'm afraid I won't be able to find Sita among the beauties in the harem. If Sita has already become the concubine of the Ten-Headed Demon, there is no point in looking for her; if she doesn't succumb, she must be locked up somewhere else."

The monkey god regretted why he had not thought of this and wasted so much time.

He entered the city at night and flew to the palace of Ravana, the ten-headed demon king. At this time, a bright moon hung high in the blue sky, the palace was brightly lit, and the maids came and went. The monkey Hanuman still did not know where he was imprisoned. Where?

The monkey god Hanuman left the harem and went straight to the woods in the backyard. The monkey god Hanuman then transformed into an owl. Finally, at dawn, Hanuman saw the haggard and sad Sita in a worry-free forest in the backyard of the palace.

Sita was surrounded by a group of ugly-looking Rakshasa girls and stood under a big tree. Her head and body were covered with mud, her hair was disheveled, she looked haggard, and her clothes were in tatters.

The monkey god Hanuman then transformed into a little beetle and hid on the branches.

Hanuman saw Sita closing her eyes tightly, completely ignoring the intimidation and persuasion of the Rakshasa girl, and she was crying silently. Many maids gathered around her and seemed to be trying to persuade her to eat, but she threw all the food on the floor.

After a while, Hanuman saw Ravana, the ten-headed demon king, coming there.

Hanuman heard Ravana’s sweet words with his own ears:

 

I'm going to use this brain of mine now,

Come and touch your lovely feet.

I will be your loyal slave,

I beg you to show me favor as soon as possible.

I've been tortured by love,

May my words not be in vain.

 

Sita said to Ravana sternly: "You have offended Rama, which means the destruction of the Rakshasa clan."

Ravana said to Sita: "I will not force you to be my wife. I kidnapped you because brother Rama humiliated my sister and killed my brother."

Ravana left angrily without finding anything.

Perhaps, Ravana's words stimulated Sita, and Sita prepared to hang herself under a tree.

Seeing this situation, Hanuman was secretly happy, knowing that Sita did not surrender to the ten-headed demon, and he could not help but admire Sita deeply.

Hanuman transformed into a beautiful butterfly and flew to Sita's ears, telling her that he was sent by King Rama to save her.

Sita raised her eyes filled with tears and looked at the beautiful butterfly. The butterfly was like a mysterious messenger falling from the sky. Sita was surprised and couldn't believe that this butterfly was actually sent by Rama to save her.

The wise Hanuman understood that Sita suspected that he was an accomplice of the ten-headed demon, and at the same time tried to dissuade Sita from committing suicide. The monkey god Hanuman restored his original shape. He took out the gemstone ring given to him by Rama to prove his identity.

Hanuman told Sita how he came here. Sita saw Rama's ring, she held it with both hands, and her tears continued to flow down. This was the first time she had received information from her husband in many days after being robbed, and she felt really sad and happy at the same time. Sita finally believed that Hanuman was sent by her husband to save her.

Hanuman comforted Sita that Rama would come to rescue her in the near future.

The monkey god Hanuman then said to Sita: Rama is looking for her everywhere and asked her to give him a token to take back so that Rama can come and rescue her quickly. Sita cut off a handful of black hair from her head and gave it to Hanuman.

The monkey god Hanuman settled Sita and prepared to return to Rama. Hanuman thought happily that he would lead Rama's army to the Lanka Island again, fight against the ten-headed demons, rescue Sita, wipe out the monsters, and perform great feats again.

When Agudengba told the donkey this, he happily sang a "Song of Good and Evil":

 

Doing good deeds is like grass in the spring garden

It is increasing day by day but not growing

Doing evil is like a whetstone

Every day the damage is lost but never disappears

 

It's possible to do evil but don't do it

Putting down the butcher knife is kindness

It is possible to be kind but not good enough

It is evil to do nothing to save someone.

 

Losing conscience and committing evil deeds

Beware of ghosts and gods

Do good deeds at the expense of oneself and altruistically

Don’t be afraid of others laughing around you

 

Accumulating virtue that no one knows

This means that yin virtue is rewarded with blessings

Doing evil that no one knows about

This means that evil deeds must be repaid

 

Greed is the devil

Helping others is a hero

Good and evil will be rewarded in the end

Just come early or come late
